Strength training for BJJ

Just because a woman listens to you and acts interested in what you say doesn't mean she really is. She might just be acting polite, while silently wishing that the date would hurry up and end, or that you would go away... and never come back.

Yeah. Its called weight training.

I've been doing jits for about 1 year now, and the thing that has really helped me is powerlifting supplemented w/some bodyweight stuff and a little kettlebell work to make it interesting. Explosive lifts such as the clean & jerk are very good for developing takedown power, especially if you are doing sub grappling and start on the feet. Any good powerlifting program should be good, but I'm still a FNG to this stuff so I reccomend researching it before you listen to me. mmaringreport.com has a column by Lee Aldridge on strenght training for MMA which should apply to BJJ as well. I reccomend you pay special attentiopn to grip strength. My grip is a little weak, but I've been working it and my ground game is a lot better as a result. Do all your lifts w/o gloves, wrap towels around your dumbell handles, do Farmer's walks, do anything and evrything to improve grip. A weak grip will kill you on the mat.
